Hey, I previously had a 1997 1.0 and cannot recall the radiator fan coming on in all the time I had it. I now have a 2001 1.0 and have found it comes on frequently. On cooler (typical British) days it is likely to come on when stationery for a few seconds or at lower speeds. However on the...

Hello, Been a while since I've updated on this. For the amount and kind of driving I do it hasn't really posed a significant problem, though I can still tell there is something not right. I've been thinking about the brief diagnosis you gave, frank, particularly: The other day I was faced...

That's the sort of answer I was looking for :) I'll check the compressor first (thanks) then look at getting it topped up and having the anti-fishy-fungal treatment.

I always seem to come up with the strangest questions - but I always seem to get answers from this forum :grinning: I have air con... Or at least I have the button for air con. I've come to the simple conclusion that it doesn't work. The button lights up when pressed - but that's as far as it...

Good point fwn It was advertised as having ABS so I just assumed (as you do) that it does... Looking on the Parkers website, apparently the Activ models (of the K11 anyway) have never had ABS. Can anyone confirm that? It's looking as though I never had ABS in the first place... Which...

Recently bought a new Micra, this one with ABS. There have been a couple of times now where a wheel has locked up under heavy braking - and no sign of any ABS. I've also noticed the ABS light never comes on, even when starting. Are there any obvious things to check or is it likely to be...

I had an exhaust shielding rattle on my old Micra, and that sounded more like it was coming from underneath the car (as you'd expect). On my current Micra it had a (really quite loud) metally rattling when idling and sometimes when pulling away. Turned out there was a bit of play in the bonnet...

The quick fix didn't last long, and it was only a few days until the window came loose again. The round plastic inserts that fit into the runners seem to be very worn, and I suspect this is the cause of my problems. Hopefully I can source a few of these from Nissan without having to buy the...

Just an update as promised. Had another good look at everything and the 'plastic mount' is still firmly stuck to the window. It was in fact the regulator that was the culprit. If you imagine it like a pair of scissors, one of the 'blades' of the scissors had come away from both the runner under...

Worth a try :grinning: So I find the plug, which I believe to be somewhere by my right knee... Turn the ignition on and short pins 9 and 16 with a paper-clip for a couple of seconds and read off the codes from the engine management light flashes? Is the bottom of the plug the shorter side...

To complicate things further, I did a ~170 mile trip yesterday with 3 of us in the car and the problem was only evident a couple of times throughout the whole journey. More often than not I could put my foot down and it responded. Don't know what's going on there... I'd still like to get it...

34,000 miles Serviced and MOT'd a couple of weeks ago Regarding the clutch there are no signs of it slipping if that's what you mean? :wasntme: Thanks

Hi (frank), Just want to elaborate on the problem so it can serve as a point of reference and possibly aid other members in the future should they suffer similar problems :grinning: Taken the car out for a 'test drive' and concluded the following: Acceleration in 1st and 2nd seems to be...

That is the plan and what I shall be doing. Thanks for the advice :wasntme: At this rate I'd rather have my old Micra back... Just on a side note; out of these possible 50 causes would I be doing any more damage by continuing to drive the car, or is it likely to be a get-it-in-the-garage-now...

No, no mods :down: and no sign of these extra horses, either! The tyres are standard... which are... I have no idea what size.

Hi, I used to own a '97 1.0 Micra, but had to part with it. I've now got an '01 1.0 Micra - so almost identical! I've noticed since having the new car that it has absolutely no power. At all. For example going 50 on the motorway, put my foot to the floor and it quite literally takes a...

Thanks for the prompt and informative replies guys :p Haven't had a chance to fix it yet, but when I had a look a few days ago the runner definately seemed spaced too far apart, and I should imagine the window has come away from the regulator. I'll try and tackle the window with a tub of...

Hi all, Was winding my driver's side electric window down yesterday and heard a *clunk*. Looked across and the window had fallen forward so I could just see a corner sticking up! :p I took the door card off to have a look... but to be honest I haven't really any idea what I'm looking for...

Had an awful noise coming from our wipers and thought it was the actual blades. When I bought a new set and it persisted - I did exactly this and now I have squeak-free wiping (Y)

Was this a private sale or from a trader? If you bought from the latter, you can reject it and ask for your money back or get the trader to repair it at his cost and to your satifaction (Y)
